The only time I use the threaded view is when someone didn't include the quote to whom they're responding and I really want to know to whom they're reacting. I hope, then, if the threaded view will be eliminated, so will the "reply only" option. It would facilitate clearer communications, be an aid to those who may not consider that their unquoted post could cause confusion.

This is a good suggestion, Lina. However, even with this one is still left in the dark if they need to see the grandparent post or more of the parent post than was included in the quote.

At a minimum, links to the parent and child (if any) posts should be included so that one can manually, if somewhat tediously, follow a discussion thread.

And although this will affect only a small number of people, the impact of the flat view only on the moderation of some of the "messy" forum topics should be considered. It can be necessary to read a significant potion of a discussion thread within a topic to understand the context of an issue.

Just wondering: will the "See all Replied To topics" and "See All Read Topics" function be fixed soon?My memory's none too good these days, & having to go into each room individually to figure which I've read or posted to seems...inefficient.

So do I. I almost exclusively use threaded view, ever since the beginning of CM, when it was StRaphael.net.Now I've been on here over 10 years and can say I use threaded view 99.999% of the time. Flat view provides no logical flow to discussion, since you really can't see subthreads/replies to other people's replies in a nested logical fashion. With flat view, it's all guesswork. Simply the last person to post a reply is what shows up, if I'm remembering correctly from what miniscule use I've made of flat view.

I don't know if anyone else has trouble with the chat box or not, but mine is giving me trouble.

This chatbox is always on, I have tried numerous times to delete it, but i just keeps coming back. I do not have an x to click to hang up. I understand if the green light is on with the other person I am talking to, then I am connected.

at 12:06 pm, the chatbox is on, and the light is red. Last night, the light was orange, meaning idle. That person was not on CM at this time.
